Mytilène is a 1924 by Madeleine & Madeleine, depicting Galloon, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman from the back, leaning slightly forward with one hand resting on a flat surface. She’s wearing a long dress with black and brown patterns, white dots down the sides, and a sheer overlay. Her hair is short and neat, and she’s got on dark stockings and heels. The artist signed it “Mytilène” in the corner, and the name “Madeleine & Madeleine” is written below the figure, along with an address in Paris. The sketch looks like it was done quickly, with loose lines and shading. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
These artists left a small but striking set of 1924 drawings and designs that mix fashion and line.
